Big, big props to the software devs. They're already starting to peel back the curtain of UI unclarity to the benefit of players trying to grapple with it's rougher side. I hope we see more work from them soon.

If i understand correct, BUNS score will be just as adding score in some puzzles. Will you insert them into visual UI settings? So even without score i still can try make them (like sulfur links, for example).

There will be a visual representation of these atoms in addition to a score change. We will implement them as a view option independent of the filter pretty soon.
